Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing. Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work. Breathing equipment: Not required. Protection of hands: (Contd. of page 3) Protective gloves The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation Material of gloves Butyl rubber, BR Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton) Nitrile rubber, NBR Natural rubber, NR Chloroprene rubber, CR The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application. Penetration time of glove material The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed. Eye protection: Tightly sealed goggles (Contd. on page 5)

Sensitization: No sensitizing effects known. Additional toxicological information: The product shows the following dangers according to internally approved calculation methods for preparations: Corrosive Swallowing will lead to a strong caustic effect on mouth and throat and to the danger of perforation of esophagus and stomach. Carcinogenic categories NTP (National Toxicology Program) 12 Ecological information Toxicity Aquatic toxicity: No further relevant information available. Persistence and degradability No further relevant information available. Bioaccumulative potential No further relevant information available. Mobility in soil No further relevant information available. Additional ecological information: General notes: Water hazard class 1 (Self-assessment): slightly hazardous for water Do not allow undiluted product or large quantities of it to reach ground water, water course or sewage system. Must not reach bodies of water or drainage ditch undiluted or unneutralized. Rinse off of bigger amounts into drains or the aquatic environment may lead to decreased ph-values. A low ph-value harms aquatic organisms. In the dilution of the use-level the ph-value is considerably increased, so that after the use of the product the aqueous waste, emptied into drains, is only low water-dangerous. Results of PBT and vpvb assessment PBT: Not applicable. vpvb: Not applicable. Other adverse effects No further relevant information available. * 13 Disposal considerations Waste treatment methods Recommendation: Must not be disposed of together with household garbage.
